“…This is in contrast to a large variety of previous work on infant crying 180 G. WIEDENMANN AND D. TODT which often focussed on single cries or short trains of 10-15 s duration (e.g. Wasz-Hockert, et al, 1963;Truby & Lind, 1965;Wolff, 1969;Murry et al, 1975;Brennan & Kirkland, 1982;Muller et al, 1974;Briiser, 1985;Zeskind et al, 1985;Bisping, 1986;Bryan & Newman, 1988).…”

Infant crying was investigated in playback experiments by presenting cry sequences (duration up to 3.5 minutes) to adult subjects, who rated the sequences (1) simultaneously with the presentation, by giving optional numbers of discrete responses which were recorded on-line ("DOL-response"), and (2) subsequently to the playback, by completing questionnaires (post-hoc judgement). The DOL-responses, summarized for about 55 subjects, were distributed over the whole sequences forming distinct accumulations at various positions. The distribution profiles differed between individual sequences (Figure 1) but were significant for each of them ( Figure 2). The comparison of the two sampling methods gave evidence that the post-hoc judgements referred mainly to the last 25 seconds instead of covering the whole sequence ( Figure 3, Table 1). DOL-responses were found to be a useful tool to quantify the judgement of cry features at any position of a sequence. It can be concluded (a) that different sequential units of a crying process affect the listener differently and (b) that accumulations of DOL-responses may indicate sequential units of communicative relevance between infant and caregiver.

“…The specificity value of 0.89 shows that non-healthy infants are identified with high confidence. This observation backs the studies of Bisping (1986), who suspected that humans have the genetic ability to identify pathological states of health. Summarizing, humans are well able to identify nonhealthy infants by their cry.…”

Infant cry classification can be performed in two ways: computational classification of cries or auditory discrimination by human listeners. This article compares both approaches. An auditory listening experiment was performed to examine if various listener groups (naive listeners, parents, nurses/midwives and therapists) were able to distinguish auditorily between healthy and pathological cries as well as to differentiate various pathologies from each other. Listeners were trained in hearing cries of healthy infants and cries of infants suffering from cleft-lip-and-palate, hearing impairment, laryngomalacia, asphyxia and brain damage. After training, a listening experiment was performed by allocating 18 infant cries to the cry groups. Multiple supervised-learning classifications models were calculated on the base of the cries’ acoustic properties. The accuracy of the models was compared to the accuracy of the human listeners. With a Kappa value of 0.491, listeners allocated the cries to the healthy and the five pathological groups with moderate performance. With a sensitivity of 0.64 and a specificity of 0.89, listeners were able to identify that a cry is a pathological one with higher confidence than separating between the single pathologies. Generalized linear mixed models found no significant differences between the classification accuracy of the listener groups. Significant differences between the pathological cry types were found. Supervised-learning classification models performed significantly better than the human listeners in classifying infant cries. The models reached an overall Kappa value of up to 0.837.
